It all started with a mysterious and seemingly innocent postcard, but from that point nothing was to remain the same in the life of Griffin Moss, a quiet, solitary artist living in London. His logical, methodical world was suddenly turned upside down by a strangely exotic woman living on a tropical island thousands of miles away. Who is Sabine? How can she "see" what Griffin is painting when they have never met? Is she a long-lost twin? A clairvoyant? Or a malevolent angel? Are we witnessing the flowering of a magical relationship or a descent into madness? This stunning visual novel unfolds in a series of postcards and letters, all brilliantly illustrated with whimsical designs, bizarre creatures, and darkly imagined landscapes. Inside the book, Griffin and Sabine's letters are to be found nestling in their envelopes, permitting the reader to examine the intimate correspondence of these inexplicably linked strangers. This truly innovative novel combines a strangely fascinating story with lush artwork in an altogether original format.… (mere)
dizzyweasel: Interactive letter writing between two persons who become romantically involved without meeting. Real letters, postcards interspersed throughout.
I bought all of the Griffin and Sabine books, at least 20 years ago, probably longer. I was on a Nick Bantock kick after reading The Museum at Purgatory and loving it. I was also into a lot of postmodern stuff, anything different, bucking the normal structure or patterns of story.
BUT for some reason I never got around to them. I think I was worried they would be boring and not include enough "magic" or "monsters". So, after waiting all this time, I read this first book to my wife in two sittings on the same day.
There was "magic" and mystery and the format was cool and interesting. Looking forward to where this story goes. ( )

"Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows"
Griffin: It's good to get in touch with you at last. Could I have one of your fish postcards? I think you were right—the wine glass has more impact than the cup. —Sabine
